View Lions

Parting gift

from a father’s parting soul..

A view of the Lions

majestic beauty

to be enthralled…

 

A stumbling child

peddling

a metal toy car….

The Lions Mountain Range,

could always be seen

from our back yard..

 

Within the salty breeze

of burrard inlet,

father’s mother would say:

“careful

sea monsters”, yet!

“grab more fish-heads”..

 

As time moves on,

heaven wards

these two souls

have gone…

That was home

for a very young toad,

a quiet ending

to a loving song..

 

A view of the Lions

majestic beauty

to be enthralled…

This piece inspired

by

memories of a moment

within my childhood..

(Grandma love the cheeks of the fish-heads)
